Kaspersky Internet Security 2013

How to update Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 offline

1. Description of the utility

Attention! The update method described below is auxiliary, not the basic one; use this method if the computer with installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 has no Internet connection. The described update method does not provide an instantaneous delivery of the released updates and consequently does not keep the application in the actual state.

In order to update all necessary databases and application modules of Kaspersky Internet Security 2013, you can use a special update utility, which should be run manually from another computer or from an USB device which is connected to the computer with the Internet connection.

First time the utility is launched all databases and modules necessary for the application and released to the present moment are loaded into a special folder, which resides in the folder with the update utility. Due to a large size of updates the first start of the utility usually takes some time. With each next start only missing, i.e. recently released, databases and modules will be loaded into the folder.

By August, 2012 the size of Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 databases takes about 252 MB on the flash carrier . Bear this information in mind, when selecting a flash carrier to store the updates for the application. With the time the size of the updates is only going to increase.

2. Brief instructions how to use the utility

Save the folder with the utility on the removable USB device, connect it to the computer with the Internet connection and run the utility (the Updater.bat file).

Once the work of the utility is over, connect the USB device to the computer (without the Internet connection) with the installed application Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 and configure the application to update from a folder which contains the databases on the removable USB device (the Updates folder).

In future regularly connect the same flash-carrier to any computer with the Internet connection and download new databases and update your Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 using the USB device.

4. Additional information about the utility

If you have any problems with the download of the databases/ modules, enable detailed report (trace) of the download process.

For it open the file Updater.bat for editing and in the line add the command:

-tf trace.txt

For example,

Updater.exe -u -c -o kis_13.0.0.3370.ini > report_kis2013.txt

Once the performed changes are saved, run the file Updater.bat and when the utility work is over and the error is reproduced, send the received trace log (the file trace.txt from the utility folder) to the Technical Support service via the My Kaspersky Account service. You can find the information how to work with My Account, in FAQ for My Account.

If utility work was terminated by the system (the iupdater.txt file contains the error Process is terminated), then download update download, unpack the VCRT8.zip archive containing libraries and unpack it to the folder with the utility.

If the utility was unpacked on the computer (not a removable drive), an error concerning folder access may appear. To eliminate the problem, move the folder with the utility to the Disk root directory (for example, C:\).

In order the report will not be overwritten, but added, open the file Updater.exe for editing and add one more symbol ">". For example, the line was Updater.exe -u -c -o kis_13.0.0.3370.ini > report_kis2013.txt, and after editing it will be Updater.exe -u -c -o kis_13.0.0.3370.ini >> report_kis2013.txt.
